If JetBlue is the official carrier of the Jets, then why was Continental flying them back to KEWR?

My guess would be they needed a larger aircraft then JetBlue could provide. JetBlue only features A320 series aircraft and E190 series aircraft. The aircraft used on this flight, as well as the one today that carried the team to KPIT to face the Steelers, was a Boeing 767-400. In the past, this flight was also filled with a Boeing 757-300.

JetBlue flies into EWR also. I'm sure it was a matter of size. On the night they lost, I worked a JetBlue flight from PIT to JFK. The pilot joked that he had a lot of sad faces on board. I wonder if that was the team? The flight number was 8558 or something...
